title: TraY proteins of F and related episomes are members of the Arc and Mnt repressor family.
abstract: Amino acid changes known to be structurally allowed in Arc repressor were used to aid in the identification of proteins with sequence similarity to Arc and the related Mnt repressor. The sequences of the TraY proteins from the F episome and related episomes were found to be similar to those of Arc and Mnt.
